Abstract:
Despite having very different underlying etiologies, an unfortunate similarity between Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the ongoing increase in incidence and prevalence in youth in both types of diabetes over the past several decades. This mini-review highlights recent studies documenting the increases in T1D and T2D in the US and worldwide. These trends underscore the need for healthcare providers and families to have a low index of suspicion for diabetes, as well as the ongoing need for improved means of preventing and treating diabetes in youth.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
